I agree that it would be crazy to think that every part a company manufactured had to be re-engineered to allow for higher temps. Out of the question and I NEVER implied that at all. What I said was that Zarrow told us that it was alright to use lea

My research starts here. I'm just beginning to research the effects of using a leaded part in a no lead process. Before I began, I know there are temperature differences. The part in question has a 260 C spec. Next I would like to find out if any c

Comments are: * J-STD-001 and A-610 committees have eliminated the requirement that solder joints be "bright and shiny". Certain metallizations (such as gold) can influence the solder joint surface texture, but have no impact of reliability. Reliance

Bernard Interesting point. Please help us better understand: * Why do 'VIA hole, PTH hole sizes may need to be changed', aside from the obvious with hole-to-lead clearance? * What should the designer 're-evalaute the board before changing'? * What

Mat, Are you sure you should be using SnPb HASL boards if you are doing prep for lead free? If you aren't actually going to comply with RoHS then fire away. Nearly all of our assemblies are now ENIG and as any re-design comes up on a HASL board it is

We are looking for some feedback on this situation. Please let us know if you have any ideas. Thanks in advance. I have been doing some studies on defects and such with our PCB's in prep for lead free and I've come to a conclusion about our process.

The hasl joint looks fuller (and is easier to inspect)because it has more solder volume. Think about it. Your pre-plating your board with solder (before you add more solder). I doubt your getting 0.3 mils of hasl.....probably more like 1.3 to 3.0

Hi everybody, now that lead-free is coming, I'm looking forward to change the oven we own in company I work for. Eternal question: what's the best oven technology on market. I allready know that we won't work with IR ovens, but I would like to have

I've worked with a Vapor Phase Oven a semi-automatic and a manual oven for evaluation. They worked fine and produce better grain of solder joints. The fluid that you need depends on the solder temperature that you require. I've used a 200'C fluid for
